IMPRISONED In A TANK.

PATERSON, October ga very remarkable
accident occurred at the Grant Locomotive
works in this city about o'clock this evening.
Archibald McFadden, aged forty. crawled into
water tank which formed a part of the ten
der of new locomotive, in order to remedy a
slight defect before the locomotive was sent
out of the shop. He entered through the hole
on top through which the tank is filled with
water, taking with him, besides his tools, an
oil lamp and piece of carpet to put under his
knees when he knelt on the hard iron. The
interior of the tank is braced with rods run
ming in all directions, and it is like making
ones way through the meshes of series Of
nets to move about in it.
McFadden entered the tank about o'clock
A few moments afterward the other men
heard smothered cries and groans issuing from
the hole, and a little later a cloud of smoke
came out. The man had upset his lamp, set
fire to his clothing and the piece of carpet, and
was unable to make his way out. One after
another men entered the hole, but each
Immediately came out again choking and half
smothered with the smoke and gases given off
by the oily flames inside. The shrieks of Nc
Fadden for help made them redouble their
efforts. but in vain. A stream of water was
poured in to put out the fire, until it was found
necessary to stop lest the water should drown
the imprisoned workman. Then a stream of
air was pumped in to keep him from suffocat-
ing.
The affair caused the most intense excite
tank making all sorts of suggestions, and again
and again venturesome men volunteered to go
in, but no one got his body out of sight before
he backed out. W. w. Evans, the manager
of the company, offered 800 reward for the
man who would rescue McFadden, but it was
of no avail 1t was physical impossibility to
penetrate far into the tank.
Then. saidMr. Evans, "tear out the top of
the Tank
A hundred hammers AID cold chises were at
once at work, and the rivet heads flew in all
directions. In fifteen minutes the stout boiler
iron was torn away enough to allow the unfor-
when he was taken out, for he had been in the
tank nearly an hour and half, having gone in
about five o'clock and had been taken out
about half-past six o'clock. He was frightful-
ly burned about the legs and lower part of the
body, and it is feared that he cannot recover.
He was at once removed to the Sisters hos
pital, where he now lies in very critical con-
dition. He had managed to put out the fire
with the water that had been poured in and
the air forced in had saved his life; but he is
suffering from the shock.

Hideous in Every Guise,

Whether it be the best known form, chills and
fever, or else bilious remittent, double ague Or
ague cake, is that abominable disorder involv-
ing the liver, the bowels and the kidneys
known as malaria. Every complaint class
fled under this generic, though erroneous ap
pellation, is destructive Of the nervous system
but is, unhappily, not to be subdued, or even
checked by the use of ordinary nervines, feb
rfuges or tonics. There is, however, prompt
relief and ultimate cure to be found in Hostel
ter's Stomach Btters, foremost among the
proprietary remedies of America, and widely
known in other lands. Not only diseases born
of miasma, but rheumatic complaints, superin-
duced by exposure in bad weather, inherited or
incurred debility of the kidneys or bladder,
dyspepsia and an irregular condition of bowels,
are curabe-nay, certain to be cured by this
deseryedy esteemed and professionally sane
toned corrective.

Asthma,

A young man taken down with asthma was
very much frightened, and went to the best
physician in the place and stated his symptoms,
and in great suspense awaited the response.
After several questions the answer was I:
"Long life and ill health. Your disease is
asthma" The first clause of physicians
answer comforted the young man, who feared
death was near. But the second clause, given
after waiting little while, depressed his spirits
to nearly as low point as he had reached
when he entered the doctors Office This con-
sultation was held before the discovery of our
Compound Oxygen. BY its use multitudes of
sufferers from asthma have been cured. A
monograph giving reports of cases of asthma,
and our procure, compound Oxygen.-Its
pages, can be had free on application either in
person or at our office. Address Drs Starkey q

Gordon In Portsmouth.


PORTSMOUTH,, O., October GA heavy
storm OF rain broke upon tie city today. The
democratic managers had made arrangements
to give Governor Gordon hearty reception,
and notwithstanding the inclement weather,
a large audience greeted him. The
general, upon being introduced, referred to
the charge of being a "kuklux," made by
the republican press, and denied it fully, as
serting that he never Mt any time following the
war, belonged TO any organization except one
formed Tor the maintenance of law and order,
and that he had not, at any time, been mem
Der OF secret society. He then spoke
of tho charges of sentimentalism, made
by the Commercial Gazette, and acknowl-
edged to the impeachment.
lie then spoke of the reception of
JEFF Davis, iustifying it as in his speech at
Cincinnati last night. He then referred to the
subject of the flags used in the Macon demon
stration, and touchingly described tho love the
people felt for these war-stained banners, and
their desire to hehold them once more at their
reunions. He held that while there were
about u dozen of them upfurled, there were Mt
least 10000 national flags displayed,
but that the northern correspond
with color blindness and could not see them
In referring to the late war the general said
that at no time had the south desired to de-
stroy the union; that she had furnished too
much yalor and treasure and blood to ward its
formation and building to wish it DESTROYED
ti"o 'ho wax was oiliy lhe OlttSfoWtn OF u
construction of the constitution, which differed
from that of the people of the north. The
sections he compared to two boys, "Johnne"
and "Yank, who fell out over d matter that
could not be peaceably adjusted, and that
"Johnnie," having gotten the worst of the
fight, had been invited back by "Yan1." That
invitation was accepted, and "Johnnie" was
back to stay. He condemned
very severely the course of certain northern
republicans in the keeping alive feelings of
sectional luminosity, and charged that in such
course lay the greatest danger to our republic,
and closed with an eXhortation to the people
of all sections to forge the passions of the past,
and unite in common purpose to promote
the prosperity and exalt the greatness of our
country.

Latrobe, Democrat Elected-Democratic Ma
iOritY in the Council.

BALTIMORE, Md, October 26.-Considering
the exciting campaign preceding it, today's
election for mayor passed off with unusual
quietness. There were few disturbances of
small Importance and one fatal shooting ARRAY
i'll which Edward Alters, an Independent dem
ocrat, shot and killed Edward barley, one of
the regulars. Alters friends claim that the
shooting was accidental, but he was placed un-
der arrest and will be charged with murder.
The vote polled aggregated 65,075, of which

Latrobe majority of 1880,
democratic gain of near 1000 since the cleo
ton for mayor two years ago. The newly
elected city council will consist of twelve
democrats and eight republicans in the first
branch and seven democrats and three republi-
cans in the second branch. The result of the
election was a great surprise to the republicans,
who counted largely upon the reformers aid
and were confident of victory. Already cries
of fraud are heard and renewed efforts will be
made to carry the state at the gubernatonal
election two weeks hence.

How Does Your Watch Run.

A watch impregnated with magnet sm cannot ''keep time" It will vary irregularly, gaining and losing and stopping. in the most annoying sort of way. It has been found that this magnetic or electric influence is the direct cause of the "queer freaks" and unaccountable behavior of fine watches and is the secret enemy which has undermined the reputation and baffled the skill of our best watchmakers.
 Giles Bro. x Go. have published a very interesting little pamphlet des- cribing the effect of magnetism in watches, which can be had free on application. It also describes the "Anti.Magnetic Shield for Watches, which has been proved to be perfect protection against the magnetic and electric influences and IS specially advantageous in Railway service where these influences are very strong, and will prevent the breakage Of main springs in cyclones and magnetic storms.

The Aztec Cattle Company.


 Major Henry Warren, Vice Presi- dent and General Manager of the Az tee cattle company, has just issued his annual report for the year 1886, which is published in neat pamphlet form, showing the whole operations of the company during the last twelve months and the present condition of things on the range.
 The report states that I3,ooo head of cattle have been transferred from Texas to the Arizona range, and 37S head of thoroughbred Short Horn and Hereford bulls boug' t. There is now 33,oooshead of cattle which have cost s7I6,I36 or an average oi $ss per head and 500 horses for which S3I,Ia4.7s have been paid or an average of S6a.. as each, on the range. Major War. ren says:
 To this Company, as to many oth- CT large land and cattle owners, the great questions are: What can be done to save this loss sustained in shipping cattle to distant markets1 ? To make our cattle realize more when sold, and to thus enhance the pro ductiye value of our grazing lands ? To my mind the answer seems plain, Establish the slaughter house on or near the cattle ranges, and displace the cattle car with the refrigerator car.
 Efforts are being made in this direc- tion now by company in New York and by parties in Boston. In my judgment every land and cattle owner in the far west should aid and encour- age them in every possible way. la our own case l know of no better place for such an establishment than at Flagstaff, where the Mineral Belt railroad forms junction with the At ilantic and Pacific railroad. would recommend a farther investigation of this subject,
